Request for Proposals: Architectural Design Services for Ocean Renewable Energy Innovation Center

The Massachusetts Clean Energy Center seeks proposals from firms with extensive experience in Massachusetts to support MassCEC in design services for a new Ocean Renewable Energy Innovation Center in New Bedford, Massachusetts.

The ORE Innovation Center will offer several types of spaces for tenants, including dedicated and shared offices and workshops, co-workspace, community and convening spaces, laydown and external storage areas, harbor access/berthing space, and parking.

MassCEC is in the final stages of site selection and cannot yet disclose the specific location of the center. The project will be in one or more locations on, or close to, the New Bedford waterfront. The site may be clear or include one or more structures. The structure(s) may require demolition and replacement, gut renovation, or minor improvements.
